Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 587 Exterior Parts
Will these exterior parts fit my specific Peterbilt 587 model year?
Most of our Peterbilt 587 exterior parts are designed to fit model years 2011-2017. However, some components like bumpers and grilles may have slight variations between early models (2011-2014) and later models (2015-2017). Always check the product description for specific year compatibility, or contact our support team with your OEM number for guaranteed fitment verification.
What's the difference between chrome, stainless steel, and aluminum exterior parts?
Chrome parts offer the brightest mirror finish but require regular polishing to prevent pitting and rust. Stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance with less maintenance, though it has a slightly duller shine than chrome. Aluminum parts are the lightest weight option and won't rust, but they're more prone to scratching and typically have a matte or brushed finish. For harsh weather conditions or heavy road salt exposure, we recommend stainless steel for the best long-term durability.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for bumpers and grilles?
Most grilles can be installed with basic hand tools in 1-2 hours. Bumpers typically require at least two people for safe handling and may need an impact wrench for proper bolt torque. Some aftermarket bumpers require drilling new mounting holes or slight modifications to existing brackets. We recommend having a torque wrench on hand to meet manufacturer specifications, typically 75-90 ft-lbs for bumper bolts. Professional installation usually runs $200-400 for bumpers and $100-200 for grilles.
Are aftermarket exterior parts DOT compliant and will they affect my warranty?
All lighting components and safety-related parts we carry meet DOT standards and are clearly marked as such. Cosmetic items like grilles, visors, and trim pieces don't require DOT certification. Installing aftermarket exterior parts generally won't void your truck's warranty, but damage caused by improper installation might not be covered. We recommend keeping your original parts in case warranty service is needed.
How do I prevent rust and corrosion on chrome bumpers in winter conditions?
Apply a quality chrome polish and sealant every 30-45 days during winter months. Rinse off road salt and chemicals weekly with fresh water, paying special attention to mounting brackets and bolt areas where corrosion typically starts. For trucks operating in extreme salt conditions, consider applying a clear protective film or switching to stainless steel components. Many drivers also spray the backside of chrome bumpers with a rust inhibitor like Fluid Film or CRC Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor for added protection.
